Thank You!

Our Volunteers: CEC could not operate without our incredible team of volunteers.  CEC volunteers help preserve and restore CEC's 3+ miles of hiking trails, help with day-to-day operations at CEC, and aid in preparation and planning of events and educational programs. From those who visit us weekly to those who make the fall gala a success, your help is always appreciated!
